Nice pick up Larry. I just read that you found a condom wrapper in there. It reminds me of the time I picked up a lot of Sega Master System games. I opened one of the cases and there was a small bag of what looked like little crystal shards. I think it was meth. Glad I didn't get pulled over on my way home.

Someone replied to my games wanted craigslist ad so I just got these for $20.

Nice job man! But what's the "I turned into Bowser's worst nightmare!" thing?

A Nintendo Power ad.

Thanks dude. It's a Nintendo Power ad slip that came inside Super Nintendo games like Larry said.

Don't reach completion too fast, you'll have nothing else to collect after that :P

BTW, I removed my first block buster sticker today on a N64 game. Not sure how you removed yours, but I use the single "tool" I had... a lighter :)
Just a few seconds of heating a few inches from the label, then it peeled of like a charm. Quite surprising what can be done with the right tools/technique.

DUDE! I could NOT get those fucking things off. No amount of heat or solvent would do it for me. Had to do some back swaps with doubles that I had on hand :(

Wow! I guess I was lucky then. The lighter trick did provided a massive amount of heat, I almost burned the second blockbuster sticker (barcode). I should have taken pictures before, but here is the result:

It was wrapping the right side:

Up to the back label, it didn't even peeled of or ripped the label, but there might be traces of glue residue I could not remove in the gap:

It was positioned like that:

The labels on mine were totally different. They're clear plastic and super brittle. I say there scraping with my fingernail for 10 minutes before just giving up and swapping backs. Like the crap just would not come off :(

Good for blockbuster, bad for the sucker who ends up with their used goods :(
